(KNBC-TV) A former elementary school teacher admitted Thursday to having sex with a young student, reversing her not guilty plea from the day before.

Malia Brooks, 32, pleaded guilty to three counts of lewd acts with a child under age 14 and to the allegation that each act involved “substantial sexual conduct with a child,” according to Erin Meister, prosecutor with Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.
